Xiao Qin Undergoes Her Tribulation
The conversation with Yunzi was quite pleasant.
In particular, after Fang Zelin learned that Yunzi had also learned divination techniques, he began to discuss this kind of Law Technique with her.
Fang Zelin had previously learned some divination techniques, but only superficially.
Compared to Yunzi's centuries of dedicated cultivation, it is naturally somewhat lacking.
Therefore, after learning about Yunzi's studies, I patiently asked her for some guidance.
Yunzi didn't seem to have much of a feeling about this at first, but when the topic of divination came up, she suddenly hesitated.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered that cultivators who could calculate the secrets of heaven could also know how to conceal them.
In addition, he was extremely perceptive in the art of divination.
If Fang Zelin were to learn even a fraction of the essence and then leave, wouldn't Fang Zelin find out about any of her plans regarding Fang Zelin in no time?
If that time really comes, wouldn't she be too ashamed to face Fellow Daoist Fang again?
With this thought in mind, she naturally began to hesitate.
Fang Zelin had no idea what Yunzi was thinking. He noticed that Yunzi was hesitant, but her eyes were still fixed on his face.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin immediately became suspicious.
To be honest, Yunzi seems to be staring at me a lot. Could it be that there's something on my face?
Thinking of this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but touch his face. "Fellow Daoist, is there something on my face?"
As he spoke, Fang Zelin reached out but couldn't touch anything. He immediately condensed water into a mirror, reflecting his face in it.
After looking closely, I didn't see anything unusual about my reflection in the mirror.
At this moment, Yunzi also realized what was happening, and a hint of shyness flashed in the depths of her eyes, which she tried her best to hide.
"No, I was just lost in thought about some Mnemonic from the art of celestial secrets."
Fortunately, she had indeed been lost in thought for a moment, so she wasn't lying.
Fang Zelin nodded in understanding, but then a thought flashed through his mind.
Thinking back, I always seemed to catch a glimpse of the other person's eyes, and it seemed that they only had eyes for me.
Could it be that you mean...?
Fang Zelin was momentarily lost in thought when he thought of this.
But soon, Fang Zelin shook his head, immediately dispelling the thought.
Although he had a vague suspicion, he dared not confirm it rashly.
If things go wrong and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, it would be really difficult to face such a friend again.
Times have changed.
There aren't many of my old friends still alive these days.
Fang Zelin was naturally extremely cautious about these few remaining friends, lest he lose one of them due to a misunderstanding.
"Fellow Daoist, let's continue with the matter of heavenly secrets."
After composing himself, Fang Zelin spoke.
The matter of celestial secrets must be treated with utmost care.
Revealing heavenly secrets will not bring them any good, even if they are cultivators.
Ordinary, insignificant matters are fine.
If it involves important matters, revealing heavenly secrets will lead to one's death.
Yunzi felt conflicted upon hearing this.
He was just thinking about whether he could get away with it so that Fang Zelin wouldn't find out about the secret and make things difficult for him in the future.
While she was struggling with her decision, both of them suddenly felt a stirring in their hearts.
At the same time, they were all looking towards the distant horizon.
Suddenly, a star in the distance lit up, its brightness surpassing even the sunlight.
Upon seeing this, both Fang Zelin and Yunzi let out a soft exclamation.
Then, as if by telepathy, the two extended their palms and began to calculate.
"When the sun appears in broad daylight, the number six corresponds to the Qian hexagram, which governs the west. This is the method for determining the six gods."
Fang Zelin murmured, then his eyes brightened, "This means a member of the Dragon Race has obtained the body of True Dragon."
Such bright stars, without any other colors, are the stars bestowed upon the Orthodox God by Heaven and Earth, and illuminated by them.
Legend has it that all the Orthodox God correspond to the stars in the sky, and even those who cultivate the Tao have a corresponding star.
When a person who cultivates the Tao attains enlightenment, they are recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
Although not Orthodox God, they are nearly so, and thus they are able to receive the protection of one of the stars.
The one I just calculated was Orthodox God among the Dragon Race who had obtained the body of True Dragon.
"Judging by the direction, it's the location of the Great Qian Dynasty. The Great Qian Dynasty produced a True Dragon hundreds of years ago, and now another True Dragon has appeared."
"If I count, your Great Qian should have three True Dragon by now, right?"
At this point, Yunzi looked at Fang Zelin with a face full of surprise.
The body of True Dragon is extremely rare, and now the Great Qian actually has three True Dragon, which is extremely rare!
"If I'm not mistaken, this True Dragon should be Xiao Qin of the Dragon Race. I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, she would finally take this step."
Fang Zelin spoke, a smile spread across his face.
Since they were acquaintances, Fang Zelin was pleased to see the other party's cultivation level gradually improve.
Yunzi suddenly realized, "This True Dragon is someone you know? No wonder!"
With this Fellow Daoist Fang Fang's cultivation level, it would be perfectly normal for him to produce several True Dragon if he were to offer a few pointers casually.
The Great Qian Dragon Race certainly has a knack for attracting wealth.
That's probably why I was able to have such fortuitous opportunity.
"Sister, you've successfully overcome your tribulation!"
At this moment, on the Jing River within the Great Qian Dynasty, Meng Yunqing transformed into a wisp of smoke and rose into the air, only revealing his true form after reaching the high sky.
Seeing the tribulation clouds dissipate, and noticing that a trace of True Dragon aura was now spreading across Xiao Qin's dragon body, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Xiao Qin twisted her dragon body at this moment, nodding repeatedly with great joy upon hearing this.
"This Lightning Tribulation doesn't seem too difficult. I was a bit too timid before, delaying for so long before finally facing this True Dragon tribulation."
As Xiao Qin spoke, she controlled the clouds around her.
At this moment, she could feel that as long as she had a thought, she could control the wind and rain.
"Well"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing's expression froze, then she looked somewhat helpless.
Look at what they're saying, that the Lightning Tribulation is easy to overcome?
Even after hundreds of years, he still remembered it clearly; he hadn't fared too well after being struck by lightning.
However, what Xiao Qin said didn't seem to be wrong.
He had seen the other party undergoing tribulation very clearly just now.
The lightning struck Meng Xiao Qin, but it didn't cause any serious injury.
The other party easily survived this Heavenly Tribulation.
But after thinking it over, I suppose it was the guidance of that senior.
He knew all too well how long his younger sister had been by that senior's side all these years.
With the guidance of that senior, my younger sister's skills have been steadily improving over the years.
Having cultivated to this point, it's perfectly normal for him to overcome this Heavenly Tribulation.
This was something that any Dragon Race would have expected.
"Alright, now that we've survived this Heavenly Tribulation, let's return to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible to report the good news!"
"We'll need to send out invitations far and wide to invite friends from all directions to attend this True Dragon's Feast!"
Back then, their father had hosted this True Dragon Banquet for him, and now it was their younger sister's turn.
When the True Dragon Banquet begins, it will likely leave the Dragon Race utterly disoriented.
Xiao Qi has countless elders.
These elders have not yet achieved the body of True Dragon, although they all know that Xiao Qin will achieve the body of True Dragon when the time comes.
Knowing something is one thing, but actually having it happen is another.
When the banquet for the True Dragon begins, many elders will likely sigh with regret.
"Great! Then I must invite Uncle Fang to my True Dragon Feast!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin was overjoyed and responded repeatedly.
She didn't particularly want to host this True Dragon Feast, but the thought that hosting it would be a way for her to thank Uncle True Dragon made her happily agree.
Seeing Xiao Qin respond, Meng Yunqing smiled and then rushed down from the clouds, plunging headfirst into the river.
The Aquatic Race in the river, who had been watching Xiao Qin undergo her tribulation in the sky, were now filled with envy upon seeing that Xiao Qin had already achieved the body of True Dragon.
All Aquatic Race aspire to become Dragon Race, but none have yet Dragon Race.
Not to mention the True Dragon's body, which is completely untouchable.
After the Aquatic Race dispersed, news of another True Dragon emerging from the Dragon Palace spread immediately.
Inside the Dragon Palace, the old dragon sat upright on his dragon throne. When he saw Meng Xiao Qin and his son return together, he sensed the True Dragon aura emanating from them.
At this moment, Old Dragon was finally overjoyed.
Although I knew in the past that one day, three True Dragon would emerge from my Dragon Palace.
But now that it has finally come true, he still can't help but feel a surge of joy.
"Good, very good!"
Looking at Meng Xiao Qin in front of him, Lao Long couldn't help but nod repeatedly, then stood up and announced.
"Spread the word: the Dragon Palace is hosting a True Dragon Banquet, inviting all aquatic Aquatic Race from all directions to attend. A grand feast will be held outside the True Dragon Palace, and all Aquatic Race are welcome to participate."
"Also, immediately take the invitation to the Dragon Race Clan."
Old Dragon already had a plan in mind for how to arrange the True Dragon Feast.
So things are being arranged in a very orderly manner.
They had even figured out how to arrange the Dragon Palace.
He had barely begun giving orders when the Aquatic Race in the Dragon Palace immediately began setting up the entire Dragon Palace.
To celebrate, the Dragon Palace was naturally decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and all the Aquatic Race creatures had to change into festive clothes.
Old Dragon was overjoyed at this moment.
At his age, he naturally hopes that his children and grandchildren will be successful.
Now that two True Dragon have emerged, how could he not be overjoyed?
"Father, we mustn't forget Uncle Fang!"
At this moment, Meng Xiao Qin stepped forward and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Old Long burst into laughter, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Old Friend Fang certainly won't forget."
After a moment's thought, he said, "You can handle this, Yunqing. Your father has to entertain our distinguished guests and arrange the banquet, so he can't spare the time."
In fact, he also wanted to invite Fang Zelin.
Sending someone else would be somewhat inadequate.
However, considering the many things he had to do, he really didn't have much time, so he could only send his son instead.
Fortunately, his son had already become True Dragon, so his importance wasn't too insignificant.
"Yes! I will go immediately."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing immediately responded, but paused before turning to leave. He then turned back with a troubled expression.
"Father, I heard that Uncle Fang has gone traveling far and wide. What should we do if Uncle Fang has not returned yet?"
He had visited Uncle Fang once before.
But the boy said that the other party had already gone traveling around.
I wonder if Uncle Fang has returned yet. If he hasn't...
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Old Dragon was immediately troubled, but quickly continued speaking.
"It's alright. If Old Friend Fang isn't here, then you can just wait there. The True Dragon Banquet can simply be postponed."
"Oh, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Hearing this, Meng Yunqing said with some concern.
Old Long shook his head and smiled upon hearing this. "How could it not be good? Your uncles and elders, coming to this True Dragon Banquet, must have a lot of ulterior motives in mind, mainly for Old Friend Fang."
"They must still vividly remember the scene when their old friend guided Xiao Qin back then. If they could wait for him to come, they would be willing to wait for hundreds of years, let alone a few years."
Over the years, haven't these guys been coming here frequently, hoping to plead for some guidance from that friend Fang?
He had almost forgotten how many times he had come.
Sometimes it can even be extremely annoying.
Despite all this, these guys still didn't get to meet Fang's friend even once.
Now that they finally have the opportunity, how could they not want to wait?
He was almost certain that this True Dragon Banquet would be completely full.
"Yes, the child understands."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing also felt that it was indeed true.
Just how alluring is the body of True Dragon? For mortals, it's as if they, who are already mortals, have been given the opportunity to enter the Dao.
This would be an irresistible temptation for any Dragon Race.
With that thought in mind, he took the invitation and went to Yingping Peak.
At this time, the Dragon Palace also began to send out invitations to friends from all directions.
Presumably anticipating the immense scale of this banquet, the Dragon Palace Dragon Palace extensive renovations to ensure it could accommodate all the guests.
If guests arrive but there are no seats available, that would be a great disgrace to the Dragon Palace.
It's Dragon Palace with three True Dragon, after all. If it loses face over such a trivial matter at the True Dragon Banquet, it's not worth it.
That would make anyone lose face.
"Since we are acquaintances, fellow Daoist, you should go and witness the ceremony."
Yunzi was aware of the True Dragon's Feast. Only after Yunzi stopped making Hand Seals did he speak.
Fang Zelin nodded upon hearing this.
I've spent quite a bit of time with Xiao Qin, and given my friendship with Old Long, it wouldn't be right not to go.
"Let's go take a look then; I'm sure that old dragon is quite happy right now."
The emergence of three True Dragon from a single Dragon Palace is, to the old dragon, equivalent to having extremely successful children and grandchildren, and naturally brings him immense joy.
